Spectrum 28/24 problem in my 2000
« on: July 27, 2009, 07:34:37 PM »
I recently got in a second hand 28/24 board and it doesnt look like my 2500 is liking it.  Early boot menu says the card is defective, but when I try it in my 3000 it works fine and the defective message isnt there.

Ideas?  I already tried the Zorro II force jumpers.

I have 4 on the 2630 card and another 4 on a Supra card.

edit:

Its the damn Supra Card causing problems...  I took it out and "defective" disappeared.  Think I'm out of luck trying to use both at the same time?

Don't you hate it when you have "too much" ram?  lol

hahaha no joke.

My last question on this.  The pass through cable is a DB15 to the Spectrum's db9.  I assume I need to rig my own Amiga DB23 video cable to the DB9 on the spectrum, right?  When I do this, does the Spectrum convert that signal to where my non-multisync VGA monitor can view the image?

No, the Spectrum doesn't scandouble.  It'll pass through the Amiga signal as-is.

Thanks

That's what I thought, just wanted to make sure before I bother with rigging a cable or not.
